I am looking to replace a couple of my URI VHO actinics, and was wondering if it makes any sense to use the Phillips 03's (NO) instead of the more costly VHOs?

Is there really an appreciable difference in output between the VHO and an NO run when on an Icecap 660 ballast?

I currently run GE 6500K NO lamps and they are about as bright as URI VHO Aquasuns (and only cost $5ea), so I wonder if I am better off also saving a few extra $$ and replacing my current VHO Actinics with Phillips NO 03s?

Any thoughts?
